MM,

"recently I have compared the 800 to a Kenwood R-5000,
no contest, the 800 is far better.
and yes, the 5000 has the upgraded AM filter"

MM - I would like to hear more about this comparison of the
Grundig Satellit 800-M and the Kenwood R-5000.

Please Tell Me More ~ RHF

if you get it, it MUST be properly modified to be a good receiver. the
bad reviews are for the unmodified 394 and they are valid. HOWEVER a
PROPERLY modified DX-394 is far superior to the stock version. the
properly modified 394 is a fun and usable radio.

also don't pay too much. a modified 394 is only worth about $200. for
the $250 that many people pay you can almost get a Satellit 800, the
best radio for the money on the market.

recently I have compared the 800 to a Kenwood R-5000, no contest, the
800 is far better. and yes, the 5000 has the upgraded AM filter
